Continuing the thread of foods that I didn’t used to like but now do… Pretzels… or more to the point Penn State Pretzels.
I used to love those chocolate covered ones… where did they go?

Jilted Generation
Everyone seems to go on nowadays about the current degeneration of this generation…. ASBOs everywhere… we all know that it’s the previous generations fault, and because the problem is actually due to a lack of discipline and direction from the parents, then that means that the problem started many generations ago and all those Old cronies stood gaggling about the “Youth of today” wearing their hoodies and standing about on street corners… can rinse their hair safe in the knowledge that it is all their fault.
Anyway, more importantly than all this is the fact that I think the problem has manifested itself in cats.
We have a number of cats around our house, and when we moved in 4 years ago we inherited a cat with the house. I know that sounds odd, but the cat had been bought when the owners moved in to a brand new house 18 years prior and they were now moving to Australia and coudn’t take the cat with them. So it seemed such a shame to us that the poor thing would get put down after such a good innings, that we decided to keep the cat. It lived another year before croaking it with age related internal problems. To be honest, the only thing the cat was good for was keeping the garden free of other cats. I guess their is some irony in there somewhere!
Now, to tie all this information together; when I was a lad cats used to shit in the soil and cover it over. Cats were considered a clean pet unlike a dog that will drop its load anywhere. But it seems that the hoody wearing feline of today is quite content to shit wherever it feels like and leave it for someone else to clean up. Sound familiar? Yes yes I know it’s only cat poo, but its actually a problem when you have little kids and worse still for babies and pregnant women. Cat poo is a carrier of Toxoplasmosis. Not to mention the more important issue of your kids trailing cat shit around the house!!!!!
So is this a problem that has managed to jump species or are we looking at a more serious evolutionary problem? How long before we are giving ASBOS to cats?

Romeo and Juliet
Romeo and Juliet
Mark Knopfler – Dire StraitsA lovestruck romeo sing a streetsuss serenade
Laying everybody low with a lovesong that he made
Finds a convenient street light steps out of the shade
Says something like you and me babe how about it?Juliet says hey it’s romeo you nearly gimme a heart attack
He’s underneath the window she’s singing hey la my boyfriend’s back
You shouldn’t come around here singing up at people like that
Anyway what you gonna do about it?Juliet the dice was loaded from the start
And I bet and you exploded into my heart
And I forget the movie song
When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong juliet?Come up on different streets they both were streets of shame
Both dirty both mean yes and the dream was just the same
And I dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real
How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals?When you can fall for chains of silver you can fall for chains of gold
You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold
You promised me everything you promised me thick and thin
Now you just say oh romeo yeah you know I used to have a scene with himJuliet when we made love you used to cry
You said I love you like the stars above and I love you till I die
There’s a place for us you know the movie song
When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong juliet?I can’t do the talk like they talk on the TV
And I can’t do a love song like the way it’s meant to be
I can’t do everything but I’d do anything for you
I can’t do anything except be in love youAnd all I do is miss you and the way we used to be
And all I do is keep th beat and bad company
All I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme
Julie I’d do the stars with you any timeJuliet when we made love you used to cry
You said I love you like the stars above I’ll love you till I die
And there’s a place for us you know the movie song
When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong juliet?A lovestruck romeo sings a streetsuss serenade
Laying everybody low with a lovesong that he made
finds a convenient streetlight steps out of the shade
Says something like you and me babe how about it?

An Atheist… me surely not…
Dodgy quiz aside, I can’t say I’m too suprised with the result… I am a little suprised of the ordering in between.

You scored as atheism. You are… an atheist, though you probably already knew this. Also, you probably have several people praying daily for your soul.
Instead of simply being “nonreligious,” atheists strongly believe in the lack of existence of a higher being, or God.

Brushing the carpet
Funny one happened to me the other day. We’d eaten in the dining room, something we don’t do do that often anymore since the kitchen renovation was finished with the help of http://dryman.com.au, anyway Jacob had spilled most of his rice over the floor and I was busy tidying it up with a brush. While I was doing this I was thinking; the vacuum cleaner will make light work of this… A couple of days later the stairs carpet was in dire need of a clean, this was due to me stripping wallpaper from the walls, anyway after removing all the big bits, I found myself brushing the carpet down with a small brush. Same thing came to mind; the vacumn cleaner would make light work of this… Now I’m always running around the house with a Vac, got kids and they take a lof of cleaning up after! Anyway I concluded that brushing the floor rather than using the vacuum cleaner is actually very therapeutic and I intend to do it more often.
